Le Petit Prince03

It took me a long time to learn where he came from.

The little prince, who asked me so many questions, never seemed to hear the ones I asked him.

It was from words dropped by chance that, little by little, everything was revealed to me.

The first time he saw my airplane, for instance (I shall not draw my airplane; that would be much too complicated for me) , he asked me: " What is that object? "

" That is not an object. It flies. It is an airplane. It is my airplane."

And I was proud to have him learn that I could fly.

He cried out, then: " What! You dropped down from the sky? "

" Yes, " I answered, modestly.

" Oh! That is funny! "

And the little prince broke into a lovely peal of laughter, which irritated me very much.
